The so-called click sounds, frequently listed as an areal feature of southern African languages, are most often treated as an undifferentiated class of sounds. This paper takes up the question of relative markedness with in the class of click sounds, and focuses on place of articulation. The data are drawn from the behavior of clicks as observed in cross-language distribution, textual frequency, change, acquisition, and consonant substitution. The Southern Bantu languages provide the primary data for analysis, but a brief comparison is made between click loss in Southern Bantu and Khoe languages.
